Description

The subjects comprise a substantial residential development opportunity extending to approximately 6.52 hectares (16.12 acres) in total, arranged over two adjoining sites. The principal site extends to approximately 5.84 hectares (14.43 acres) and incorporates the former Greyfriars Monastery, a Category B Listed building which has suffered fire damage and is now in a derelict condition. The building comprises a former monastery with associated wings and extensions, including a former church section. The site also includes a Listed walled garden, areas of garden ground, a former courtyard and a separate residential cottage. The grounds extend towards the River Clyde, providing an attractive setting for the proposed residential development. There are also a number of ancillary outbuildings within the grounds, which are in a poor state of repair. An additional site to the east extends to approximately 0.68 hectares (1.69 acres), forming part of the overall development opportunity. The property presents an opportunity to deliver a residential scheme combining the conversion and restoration of a historic listed building with new-build housing, subject to the relevant planning requirements and obligations.
